🍻🎆 THREE YEARS AT YE OLDE TWO BREWERS! 🎆🍻5th November 2023 – 5th November 2026Three years ago today, we reopened the doors of Ye Olde Two Brewers.The pub had been closed for some time. Some thought it would never open again. And, quite frankly, there have been moments when we've wondered whether it should have stayed closed! 😂But hey… HERE WE ARE! THREE YEARS ON! 🍻We've had the doubters. We've had the haters. Some even told us we wouldn't last two weeks.Well, put that in your pipe and smoke it! Or better still, do better! 😂Three years later, whilst 2 pubs a day are closing up and down the country, we're STILL HERE. Still trucking. Still pulling pints. Still baking bread. Still cooking proper food. Still bringing people together.🏆 Award-winning ales🏆 Award-winning sourdough bread🏆 An award-winning pub🍽️ Our lovely new Lunch Club❤️ And a community that keeps this beautiful 18th-century pub alive.Has it been easy? Not for a bloody minute!But nothing worth doing ever is.Has it been worth it? Well, when we look around at what we've created, the friendships, the laughter, the music, the memories and the people who've walked through these doors… absolutely.And tonight, being Bonfire Night, we're going to have ourselves a little celebration! 🎆A few fireworks, some sparklers, and a moment for me, Jules, Lyra-June and our wonderful team to celebrate three years of keeping the Brewers alive.Come down, raise a glass and celebrate with us! 🍻To every local, every customer, every member of staff, every musician, every supplier and every single person who's supported us over these three years…THANK YOU. ❤️You're the reason these doors are still open.Here's to three years of blood, sweat, tears, laughter, love and a hell of a lot of beer (In Daniels Belly: )And here's to this beautiful old pub, still standing, still serving and still very much alive.CHEERS TO YOU ALL! 🍻❤️Dan, Jules, Lyra-June & The Two Brewers Team#YeOldeTwoBrewers #ThreeYearsStrong #Shaftesbury #DorsetPubs #SupportYourLocal #SaveOurPubs #BonfireNight #AwardWinningPub #GoldHillBread #CommunityPub #StillTrucking #CheersToYou …

🍺 WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT ALL SHAFTESBURY NEEDED WAS A BIT OF SUSSEX IN ITS LIFE?! 😂Well, well, well… the unthinkable has happened at Ye Olde Two Brewers!Our beloved Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter has officially become our BEST-SELLING ALE! 🏆🍺Yes, you read that right. It's knocked Wiltshire's mighty Wadworth 6X off the top spot! And that's something I never thought I'd see in this pub!Being Sussex born and bred ourselves, we've always known there's something rather special about a proper pint of Harvey's. But who knew Shaftesbury would fall in love with it quite so spectacularly?! 😂Apparently, all this lovely Dorset town needed was a little Sussex influence!And judging by the number of people travelling from far and wide for a pint, the secret's well and truly out!🚚 Fresh in every Thursday!🍺 Beautifully kept, perfectly poured and selling FAST!Who knew a pint could travel all the way from Lewes to Shaftesbury and still taste this bloody good?!So if you haven't tried it yet, come and see what all the fuss is about.Sussex 1 – Wiltshire 0! 😂🍺Sorry, 6X. We still love you! ❤️Cheers from your Sussex pub#harveysbestr#sussexbestbitterw#harveysbreweryt#YeOldeTwoBrewerse#Shaftesburys#dorsetpubsr#sussexbornandbrede#realaler#camraf#ProperPintr#wadworth6xs#supportyourlocale#publifeA#lewestoshaftesburyd#BestBitterpportYourLocal #PubLife #LewesToShaftesbury #BestBitter …
